PCM May 1986

One article in this issue described how to replace the Intel 8088 in your Tandy 1000 with the NEC V-20, speeding up calculations by "up to 24 percent" ("For $25, it's the best bargain in speed since the $8 crystal for the PC AT.") Tandy's older "MS-DOS machine," the Tandy 2000, was examined with the question "What Makes a Compatible?" Even as portable disk drives for the Model 100 were talked up, one lengthy article looked at "Coping with Cassettes" for its mass storage.

Hard to figure the logic of just how this is to impress Betty upon Archie. Okay, I guess, on the win a contest. But what is Little Archie supposed to think upon the sight of a giant Betty balloon?

According to comics dot org, we go back even further to this Archie Bob Montana Sunday strip for that sequence.

The Little Jughead variant gets a softer landing than the mainline.

HOMELESS HEART

---John Ashbery

When I think of finishing the work, when I think of the finished work, a great sadness overtakes me, a sadness paradoxically like joy. The circumstances of doing put away, the being of it takes possession, like a tenant in a rented house. Where are you now, homeless heart? Caught in a hinge, or secreted behind drywall, like your nameless predecessors now that they have been given names? Best not to dwell on our situation, but to dwell in it is deeply refreshing. Like a sideboard covered with decanters and fruit. As a box kite is to a kite. The inside of stumbling. The way to breath. The caricature on the blackboard.
